I observed that there are probably haters in America, but fortunately they are a small fraction of our population. Of greater concern is that very few Americans are familiar with Muslim history, religion or culture. It is exactly that ignorance that first Trump and now Cruz are tapping into.

Like most PA politicians, a man with an IQ of 115 who thinks he has an IQ of 140. The problem is that we are more familiar with the history of Islam then you, you freaking idiot. We have not forgotten how close we came to being overrun by the Moslem hordes, if not for Jan Sobieski. The battle of Islam against Western Christian civilization started in the early 7th century, and has rarely lapsed for more than a few generations to the present day.

Tom Ridge who brought the former head of the East German Stasi, Markus Wolf, who was out of work, in to design the new Department of Homeland Security. When that didn’t seem draconian enough, Tom Ridge sought the insights of the former Soviet secret service ‘KGB’ General Yevgeni Primakov. Yes, that Tom Ridge.

Everyone gets a chance.

Even the Satanists.

But, when we find out that cutting throats and drinking blood is one of the fun features of your “religion”, it sorta loses its status as a serious belief system, ya know?

Modern Islam had its chance. What they showed is that as soon as they got a little cash and some mobility, they used it to go on a rampage unseen since the Nazi party and the Imperial Japanese army decided to see who was weak in their parts of the world.

It’s not a religion. It’s a psychotic political ideology which uses religion as an excuse for rabid behavior.

No reason to give it First Amendment respect. As Justice Jackson said, the Constitution is not a suicide pact.

“Of greater concern is that very few Americans are familiar with Muslim history, religion or culture.”

The history of Islam, in a nutshell: Muhammad, after wandering in the desert, suddenly comes up with a new faith that is mostly glomming off Judaism, and then begins preaching this about his hometown of Mecca. This angers the local bigwigs, who are used to people dropping into town to sacrifice their daughters to the moon in front of a meteorite, because without the pilgrimages, the income dries up. Muhammad’s wife manages to buy them off, but after she dies, they run him off. He flees to Medina, and uses low cunning to take control of the violent tribes there, and convert them to his new faith. He then returns to Mecca, crushes his opposition, and takes control, all the while continuing to proclaim the sanctity of the city and the big meteorite because he still wants the income from the pilgrimages. He then uses his position as ruler of two cities to order his fanatical followers to embark on a war of religious conquest to dominate the whole of Arabia. His successors the Caliphs continue to spread the war (and accumulate the loot) until they dominate the whole of the Maghreb, and some of Central Asia.

Once completely corrupted by wealth, his successors battle each other until the lands dominated by them are fragmented. Then the Turks come, and seize power, taking over Eastern Europe, all in the name of the profit...er, Prophet..... For many years, the Turks rule with an odd combination of indolence and brutality, before before disastrously accepting a bribe to enter WWI and losing all but Asia Minor. After the failure of the British and French to mold the Middle East in their own image, the Middle East is torn by strife for many years between different factions who can only agree that the Jews must be driven into the sea and that the nations that supported putting them there need to be destroyed.

After the coming of oil, large amounts of cash make their way to the region, increasing the military and political capabilities of Islamic warriors who intend to force their interpretation of the will of the Prophet on everyone it isn’t already imposed on. They will do this by any means necessary, which brings us to today, where 9/10 of them sit back and support the other portion, which launches terrorist attacks.

Tom Ridge is a clueless, politically correct RINO who really should be a Democrat.........and should quit being clueless and read the Koran and see all of its calls for violence and death to unbelievers.

I love it when those not part of a religion define that religion from a position of CLUELESS IGNORANCE!

Another idiot who thinks as long as we say, “Islam is a religion of peace”, they’ll love us.

“That’s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace.”

Islam sucks.

Everywhere in the world where there is Islam, there’s war, famine, violence and poverty.

Remember the criminal abortionist in Philadelphia? Goznell? The one brought down by a citizen's grand jury report? If you happened to read that report then you might have put two and two together and wondered what happened to the investigation and policing of that monster during Ridge's Watch.

He's culpable, and he's kept a low profile for a very long while hoping we'll have forgotten. I haven't

And anyone who thinks "Islam is peace," and not "the peace of a common grave" is terribly ignorant of history.

Islam is at war with all that is not Islam.

Isn’t it wonderful that Tom Ridge knows more about Islam than thousands of jihadi Muslim clerics and their millions of followers?

Tom is part of the secret plan.
They are going to use the muzzies to kill us.
But they under estimate Christians.

Tom Ridge is a politician, nothing more. He has no useful or value-adding skills to bring to the debate.

Law enforcement needs the cooperation of the Muslim community to identify potential terrorists within.

I have a better plan. Just round them and fly them back to their desert tents.

Another elitist hack from the Uniparty telling us to ignore what we are seeing.

I wonder who’s writing him checks.

In the Kermit Gosnell trial, it came out that the day Tom Ridge became governor of Pennsylvania, inspections of abortion clinics ceased.

Pro-abortion REPUBLICANS murder babies, too.
